Don't Apologize

The past is still not what it seemed.

Don't apologize

She said so serious

It was not my fault

She exclaimed

Even if I saved her life

Just by saying hello

Checking up on her

Home is where

The heart is found

Even when torn

Broken and bruised

Unsure of the energy

Given and received

Awe gives to fault

When in a mirror

You look upon yourself

But love is not

Scales upon to weigh

That which is unseen

But only felt within

Competition best left

Out of the spaces

Between us now

Past to memory

But my role was

Equal in my eyes

Yet you say

Don't apologize

She said repeatedly

It was not my fault

It was just her way

Of saving me

From her demons

Which I never asked

To be saved from

There are times when we wish to be a part of another's life not only to share love and joy but also to be a part of their innermost demons. It not only strengthens the bond but also eases the pain for sorrows once shared dwindles and mirth proliferates. They may refuse us in that space to save us but when you take such a step forward the refusal feels like betrayal. The question of what would have been gnaws you from inside. You have fabricated the essence of such a refusal fervently. Great work. Fantastic.

Thank you - glad to see my raw and rough writing evokes such a response. Thank you my friend.

Your very welcome - I tend to mix things up if you look at all my works with a broad view.

Such a powerful subject! Your writing is so magnificently constructed.

Thank you Amos - this was the result of some recent news that I'm still dealing with a bit.

The past too often is better left to ignorance yet in knowing I feel I can move past this.

Your praise is quite welcome - thank you.

You're most welcome

Excellent poem- you express quite well in the last several lines how it feels when someone tries to protect you from something you never wanted to be protected from. Good job.

[Wynter Ignatius]

Thanks Alex - this situation is still raw for me and this helped a bit.

My pleasure.
